+  - Enhanced `dump` action to support `--collect` and `--solve` flags
+  - Added `nimbledeps` to `.gitignore` during setup
+  - Fixed Mercurial repository support in requirements
+  - Set default path for develop dependencies
+  - Reverted spinner display
+  - Added vNext lock file support
+  - Fixed dependency satisfaction errors
+  - Added legacy flag (defaults to `true`)
